I finally read a reasonable and easily attainable solution to our immigration problem.
A truly closed border
Immediate deportation of any illegal immigrant convicted of a crime or with a criminal record
Permanent legal status and work status without a pathway to citizenship, so no need for sanctuary cities and states.
With a grace period to complete, vet all immigrants currently here and future ones at the border.
The result - no massive detention camps, no abusive ICE raids, illegal crossings drop dramatically. Immigrants no longer living in the shadows, in fear and can seek legitimate employment.
